Switching on italic print

ESC

1B
Function:
Italic print is switched on using ESC 4. The characters of each current character
set, i. e. draft standard type, LQ type or characters defined by the user will sub-
sequently be printed in italics..
– The italic characters can be addressed in the lower character ta-
i
ble after entering ESC 4.
– Italic print is switched off again using ESC 5. In the upper charac-
ter table, italic characters can still be addressed (see ESC t (n)).
– ESC 4 can also be used if the graphics character set was activat-
ed using ESC t (1). However, the graphics characters are not
printed in italics.
Example:
BEGIN
PRINTLF("Draft normal")
PRINT(char(27),"4")
PRINTLF("Draft italic")
PRINT(char(27),"x",char(1))
PRINTLF("LQ italic")
END
